War Department hid evidence on Japanese internment, trial says
Seattle testimony in Hirabayashi case claims two DeWitt report versions existed with one suppressed for national security. Edward Ennis testified the War Department hid an earlier version while sharing another with Justice Department to argue for internments. The suit seeks to overturn convictions and reveal why evacuations occurred, aided by Freedom of Information Act documents.
